Not serious, but strange behaviour

Hi. I say not serious, but if it happens to all my other photos it could be! Went to edit a photo, and when I pulled up the editing tools to make an adjustment, there was nothing at all in the histogram and none of the sliders had any effect. And all the effect boxes were empty. It's as if the image still exists, but all the data behind it has disappeared. Only happens on this one photo so far, but would like to understand why.
Thanks.

What color mode is the photo: B/W, CMYK, etc.? It is any different from your other photos, i.e. where it came from or something like that?

  • Simple but strange behaviour of "suppress result rows"

    Hi,
    In one of the Query, for all the characteristics, the result rows are suppressed but strangely when i execute it on web i see the result row is getting dispalyed for one char.
    But when i go back and check my query designer,for every char i see suppress result row is set to Always...but i don't know why it is not reflecting on the web
    Now can any one please suggest how to suppress this on web permanently..
    Note:on the Web we can select the char and right click and change this feature in properties but it is a one time actitivity,Becuase when we try to execute the report once gain the result row again appreaing!!!
    when we execute the same report in BEx analyzert eh result rows is NOT shown up but only in web it is apprearing
    Is there any permanent way????????

    Hi Swapna,
    If you get the same behaviour after reopening the Web Template, you can use command "SET_RESULT_VISIBILITY" to suppress the result rows of that characteristic at Web Template level.
    Check this link for more details.

  • How to delete duplicates in oracle 10g ( strange behaviour)

    Recently we migrated from oracel 8i to oralce 10g and we face this problem.
    When we try to delete duplicates using rowid ( analytical functions row_number()/
    or normal delete ) and commit the same , still we find some duplicates to be existing because of which we are not able to enable costriants and resulting in process failure.
    When we run the same delete statement next time it removes more duplicates than the required or sometimes required duplicates resulting in abnormal behaviour.
    I don not understand this strange behaviour after upgrading to oracle 10g.
    It'd be great if some one who has idea on this can throw light on the same.
    thanks

    Gasparotto,
    Thanks a lot for letting me know a new procedure to delete duplicates sing lead function.
    I've tried this code on a temp table and it worked, let me use the same query on the prodn side and test the same.

  • Strange behaviour or not?

    Hi all...I'm new in this forum and I have a question to you. I think my curiosity is about the compiler, so I post here.
    I use Java SE 1.5 and 1.6. If I write a simple class like the following
    public class Prova{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    Integer a1=128;
    Integer a2=128;
    /*1*/System.out.println(a1==a2);
    /*2*/System.out.println(a1);
    /*3*/System.out.println(a2);
    I get the following strange result
    /*1*/ prints true if a1 and a2 are both inizialized between -128 and 127 (exactly 256 values, the ones obtainable from a byte) and false for values less then -128 or bigger then 127...
    Is this a strange behaviour or not? Why do I obtain such results?
    please note that /*2*/ and /*3*/ ALWAYS print the declared values (in this case 128).
    thank you!

    Shadow-DK wrote:
    From version 1.5 that declaration began correct and the result was similar to Integer i = new Integer(100);
    No that wouldn't permit caching. Its like Integer i = Integer.valueOf(100);The caching MUST occur for values -128 thru 127, it may occur for other values. I would not rely on caching not occurring outside that range.

  • Strange behaviour with combo boxes.

    Has anyone else noticed strange behaviour of combo boxes with applets?
    What happens is that on selecting the combo drop down, the dialogue the combo is sitting on moves behind its parent window. You just end up seeing the combo list, and no dialogue. Select a combo item, and sometimes the dialogue reappears, and sometimes it is still hidden.
    I've only seen this whilst running an applet in browsers. In Eclipse I don't see the behaviour.
    The behaviour is also very intermittent.
    I'm using Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10-rc2, Using JRE version 1.6.0_10-rc2 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, on Windows Vista, Google Chrome browser.
    I'd raise it as a bug, it certainly seems quite serious, but I don't have a reliable test case.
    I have a work around, on all my dialogues with combo's on them, I have setAlwaysOnTop(true). Not really the correct behaviour though.

  • APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

    Hi
    For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
    I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
    After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
    Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
    Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
    So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
    So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
    Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
    Thanks
    Brian
    [Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]

    Hi Brian,
    it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
    At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
    Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
    However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
    For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
    For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
    You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

  • Strange behaviour of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

    hello guys,
    i wrote a program which executes some commands in commandline (actually tried multiple stuff.)
    what did i try?
    open "cmd.exe" manually (administrator)
    type "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" and hit enter, which returns me
    "AMD64"
    type "java -version" and hit enter, which returns me:
    "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
    type "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip"" returns me:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-zip
    Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
    i wrote two functions to execute an command
    1) simply calls exec and reads errin and stdout from the process started:
    public static String execute(String command) {
              String result = "";
              try {
                   // Execute a command
                   Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
                   // Read from an input stream
                   InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
                   int c;
                   while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                        result += ((char) c);
                   in.close();
                   in = child.getErrorStream();
                   while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                        result += ((char) c);
                   in.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
              return result;
         }the second function allows me to send multiple commands to the cmd
    public static String exec(String[] commands) {
              String line;
              String result = "";
              OutputStream stdin = null;
              InputStream stderr = null;
              InputStream stdout = null;
              // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
              try {
                   Process process;
                   process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
                   stdin = process.getOutputStream();
                   stderr = process.getErrorStream();
                   stdout = process.getInputStream();
                   // "write" the parms into stdin
                   for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
                        line = commands[i] + "\n";
                        stdin.write(line.getBytes());
                        stdin.flush();
                   stdin.close();
                   // clean up if any output in stdout
                   BufferedReader brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(
                             new InputStreamReader(stdout));
                   while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                        result += line + "\n";
                   brCleanUp.close();

                   brCleanUp.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return result;
         }so i try to execute the commands from above (yes, i am using \\ and \" in java)
    (1) "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
    (2) "java -version"
    (3) "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip""
    the first function returns me (note that ALL results are different from the stuff above!):
    (1) "" <-- empty ?!
    (2) java version "1.6.0_11"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
    (3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
    the second function returns me:
    (1) x86 <-- huh? i have AMD64
    (2) java version "1.6.0_11"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
    (3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
    horray! in this version the java version is correct! processor architecture is not empty but totally incorrect and the reg query is still err.
    any help is wellcome
    note: i only put stuff here, which returns me strange behaviour, most things are working correct with my functions (using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); code)
    note2: "reg query "HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" /t REG_SZ" IS working, so why are "some" queries result in ERR, while they are working if typed by hand in cmd.exe?

    ok, i exported a jar file and execute it from cmd:
    java -jar myjar.jar
    now the output is:
    (1) "" if called by version 1, possible to retrieve by version 2 (no clue why!)
    (2) "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
    (3) C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
    so all three problems are gone! (but its a hard way, as i need both functions and parse a lot of text... :/ )
    thanks for the tip, that eclipse changes variables (i really did not knew this one...)

  • PS Report : Strange behaviour S_ALR_87013542  and CJI5

    The bottom line total figure In CJI5 ("Val/CO Area") for All PO's assigned to a WBS and S_ALR_87013542 ("Commitments") on a WBS match exactly - in same period.
    But strangely the bottom line total figure In CJI5 ("Plan val. Currency" )  DO NOT MATCH with the bottom line total figure of "Total" of S_ALR_87013542 . Infact the value is showing more in CJI5.
    Can someone explain the reason for this behaviour.
    Thank you.

    Hii Ravi,
    Thanks for your quick response....
    I'm not using the valuated stock, and yes all the configuration already checked.
    First, in the PO, we key the date and invoicing plan (depends on the termijn), If we want to do
    invoice (MIRO), we need to do the unblocking the invoicing plan in the PO (invoice tab in po)
    after that, create invoice reference to PO. if this steps are followed.. we still can see the outstanding amount of PO in the report. (_ALR_87013558 and CJI5).
    If user didn't do the unblocking the invoicing plan in the PO,.. and directly do the invoice (MIRO)
    reference to PO, Invoice still can be created.. However, we cannot see the outstanding amount of the
    PO, if user do the invoice without unblocking the invoicing plan.
    Please any advice wiil be helpful..
    Best regards

  • Strange behaviour with ActiveX invoke node and Excel

    I want to send a table of numbers from LV50.1f to Excel97. After getting a
    reg to Excel8.Application I retrieve the Workbooks property, Invoke Item to
    select a certain Workbook reference, retrieve the Worksheets collection
    reference, Invoke Item and then get a reference to WORKBOOKS again.
    Strangely, there is an example code from the NI web site that does exactly
    the same, but in the last step a variant is returned in stead of a
    reference, which is converted using Variant to G to a Worksheet reference.
    when I copied that last invoke node to my VI I also had a variant returned,
    so on one diagram I had to invoke nodes connected to the same sources, one
    returning a ref, the other returning a variant!
    Disco
    nnecting the sources to my Invoke node and rewiring gave no change.
    Also type casting the ref to workbooks to a worksheets ref, didn't work - I
    get errors in the following property node that retrieves a Range - which
    exists in Worksheet, but not in Workbooks.
    Appearantly, LV gets the returned type mixed up sometimes, and there is no
    way to fix it other then copying a invoke node from another diagram?
    Finally I got it working though, but this behaviour puzzles me. Contrary to
    the example from NI, I now managed to send a table (2d array of strings) in
    one call to Excel (don;t need to loop over cells or columns).
    PS
    I used to do the same using DDE but ranges are different for each language
    version of Excel (i.e. R1C1 for English and R1K1 for Dutch), so my VI's need
    to know the language of Excel. Also with NT and Win98, getting a DDE
    connection often hangs LV. But a big progress has been made - now I need
    different VI's for each version of Excel!!!

  • View Master mode strange behaviour with jpg files

    Hy all,
    I'm using Aperture, and I'm tweakin a lot the SW to discover all secrets ....
    I'm really concerned about a strange behaviour of the SW in view mode.
    If I open a jpg file, do not apply ANY modification, and apply the "show master" command (pressing M), there's a subtle behaviour :
    *the images get sharper !!!!*
    It behaves as if an "edge sharpening" was applied !!!!!!
    With _RAW files this thing doesn't happen at all._
    Even stranger, if I zoom to full definition (by pressing Z), and toggle between normal view and "show master" view, the immage remains the same !
    The effect is not so evident with all images, but sometimes it is !!
    Anyway, I expect not to have such kind of things with a professional SW.
    With professional cameras and good quality files it's really annoying not to beeing sure what's the REAL content of the jpg image.
    Has anyone noted this thing ? Is there a reasonable explanation ?
    The only one I tried to figure out is the following : may be Aperture applies some kind of resampling algorithm with jpg files (bicubic, bilinear, etc).
    May be this resampling is not applied with 100% magnification, as weel as with raw files.
    But it's only my guessing. Now, I'm tweaking other viewers and other SW to understand what's the real jpg image stored in the file : the blurer one form normal view or the sharper one with "show master" mode.
    I stress once again : of course, the jpg file I'm talking about have no settings at all, just imported and toggled with M button.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Enzo

    Hy,
    I'm afraid I'm not been clear.
    The problem is this :
    1) jpg image opened in normal view mode, no zoom, (no quick preview, of course) : image with a certain amount of blour
    2) jpg image opened in show master mode, no zoom, (no quick previre, of course) : image SHARPER with respect with the previous.
    No edit applied from import, so "show master" command shouln't apply any change in rendering, should it ?
    The only thing I said on 100% view is that such difference (between normal mode e show mastermode) is not present with 100% magnification.
    That was the issue.

  • Strange behaviour: two servers on the same port

    Hi!
    I hope this is the right section for this post. I need help about a strange behaviour involving a ServerSocket.
    For my thesis I need to write a program that receives data from a pre-existing DSMS client, filters them and then sends them to a pre-existing DSMS server. And here is my problem: if I try to create a ServerSocket on the same port of the DSMS server, my program throws no exception, and the servers seem running on the same port. This is a behaviour that I'd like to avoid, but I cannot understand what the problem is. Can you help me?
    The source code of the DSMS server can be found here (it's written in C++): http://infolab.stanford.edu/stream/code/stream-0.6.0.tar.gz
    The source code of my server class, instead, is this one:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class ThreadGenerator {
         private ServerSocket server;
         public void connect(String servPort, String cHost, String cPort) {
              try {
                   server = new ServerSocket(servPort);
                   System.out.println("SERVER running on port "+servPort);
              } catch (BindException e) {
                   System.out.println("Address already in use!");
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.err.println(e);
              try {
                   while(true){
                        Socket client = server.accept();
                        StreamThread T = new StreamThread(client, cHost, cPort);
                        T.start();
              } catch (EOFException e) {
                   System.out.println("Server closed connection!");
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.err.println(e);
    }I'm programming on Mac OSX Tiger, with Java 1.5.0.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The problem is still happening to me, I tried in this very moment. The code I'm using is the one I posted, and the second server is the one that I linked. I don't think there's anything else to add.
    If you're sure that the problem is not in my code, then it means that it is in the linked server, which partially solves the problem. But I'd like to know, if it's possibile, if there is any other way to check if the port is already in use.

  • Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation- Strange behaviour of network adapter

    Hello there are discussions and questions around this community about network adapter dropping connection while system is running. But I have found unique problem with my network adapter driver.
    I have tried to state my problem as clearly as possible. Please ask if any detail is required.
    My network status shows no access on following occasions:
    1. On alternate system wakeups.
        eg:  
    a. System boots up 
    Internet accessible
    no problem
    b. I put system to sleep(first time) and wake it up
    No access to internet !!!
    When I check in network and sharing center not even adapter shows in disabled status.(See video from the link given below).
    c. Without restarting system or without installing network adapter again,  I put system to sleep again and wake it up (2nd time).
    Internet accessible
    d. I put system to sleep for (3rd time) and wakes it up.
    No access to internet!!
    If I put system to sleep again and wake it up definitly I get network access.
    2. If I switch off the modem before windows shutdown completely or in the process of shutdown, next time when I boot system, even though the modem is switched on before booting the system, No internet access tooltip will be shown on network
    sysbol.
    Another strange behaviour is on no internet access status, I start installing adapter, and it loads required files and prompt me to click "next" and "click" install.
    But the thing is before I go to "next" button, I will get network access as shown in this link
    http://youtu.be/sPlXVEiYBeo. Ignore virtualbox adapter. Same behaviour was there when there is no vbox adapter. Same was happening in Windows 8 Pro, but not in windows 7, so that there is no H/W problem I think. 
    Any idea on how to fix this or any alternate solution ? 

    Hi,
    Firstly, access your network adapter official website to get the proper driver applied to your system.
    Then going to Control Panel > Device Manager, right click your adapter > Properties. Under the Power Management tab, make sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox unchecked.
    If it still persists, try to disable "fast startup" as below steps:
    1.In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.
    2.Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.
    3.Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.
    4.Click Save Settings.

  • Strange behaviour from new 2012R2 in old domain

    Hi all,
    At work (education level), I'm starting to take charge of windows admin, so beiing a noob admin I'm finding strange behaviours that I hope you can help me solve them all :-)
    We've one (big) domain with about 5000 computers (workers and students all together), and around 50000 users (again, workers and students all together) setup like this:
    DC-DOMAIN-1:
    Windows Server 2008R2
    Shares NETLOGON and SYSVOL
    DC-DOMAIN-2:
    Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
    Shares CertEnroll, NETLOGON, SMSLOGON, SYSVOL
    Checking RootDSE, I see 'domainControllerFunctionaly is Windows 2003' (DC-DOMAIN-2)
    So, with this setup, I've noticed these strange behaviours, hope list isn't too big  (guess there will be more behaviours but these seemed too odd):
    1) On DC-DOMAIN-2, WinServer 2003 eventlog, inside 'Directory Service', I found this warning event ID 1083 (Source NTDS Replication):
    Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received from the domain controller at the following network address because Active Directory was busy processing information.
    Object:CN=<an user name>, CN=Users, DC=DOMAIN
    Usually followed by an information event (eventid 1955) which says:
    ctive Directory encountered a write conflict when applying replicated changes to the following object.
    Object:
    <SAME USER OBJECT THAN PREVIOUS EVENT ID>
    Time in seconds:
    0
    Event log entries preceding this entry will indicate whether or not the update was accepted.
    A write conflict can be caused by simultaneous changes to the same object or simultaneous changes to other objects that have attributes referencing this object. This commonly occurs when the object represents a large group with many members, and the functional level of the forest is set to Windows 2000. This conflict triggered additional retries of the update. If the system appears slow, it could be because replication of these changes is occurring.
    User Action
    Use smaller groups for this operation or raise the functional level to Windows Server 2003.
    And having as result that user being blocked in domain.
    2) I've added a new print server based on Windows Server 2012R2 (running inside an updated ESX 5.5 with VMXNET3 ethernet adapter as recommended by vmware), and seen in the event viewer these warnings/errors:
    At System log:
    Error Event ID 5783, Source NETLOGON:
    The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for the domain DOMAIN is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\PRINTSERVER to \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name has been cancelled.
    I've seen Event ID 5783 with DC-DOMAIN-1 too....
    Error Event ID 5719, Source NETLOGON:
    This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain DOMAIN due to the following:
    The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
    This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that
    this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.
    ADDITIONAL INFO:
    If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain.
    At Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectinoManager/Admin found also this warning:
    Warning Event ID 20499 Source TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager:
    Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for user administrator
    3) If I try Group Policy Modeling on DC-DOMAIN-1 (server 2008R2), everything works fine, no matter if I try it against DC-DOMAIN-1 or DC-DOMAIN-2, but if I try this from the Server 2012R2 (the one from point 2), I get this:
    Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-2: Gets executed, but all GPO show as inaccessible, empty or disabled.
    Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-1: Sometimes it gets executed as DC-DOMAIN-2, sometimes I get an error saying query can't be executed.
    4) From server 2012R2, I usually manage printing GPO. If I click on the domain root (GPMC, forest, Domains, DOMAIN-NAME-ROOT) right pane, I get a pop up saying: 
    'A processing error ocurred collecting data using this base domain controller. Please change the base domain controller and try again'
    After closing popup, right pane says something like 'DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name' is the baseline domain controller for this domain.
    No infrastructure Status information exists for this domain.
    Click the Detect Now button below to gather infrastructure status from all of the domain controllers in this domain.
    Pressing 'Detect Now' does nothing, and trying to select New Baseline DC shows again same pop up than before.
    5) Last, but not least, I've feeling that GPO takes too much to apply. I've found scenarios in which even after executing 'gpupdate /force' correctly on client computer either local or domain admin, I can't see the new changes (gpresult says it has been
    updated though). But couldn't find anything on eventlog that informs about problems with GPOs...
    For all these strange behaviours I've noticed in last month that I started checking things as sys admin, I believe domain is damaged, or something is wrong there (not just my new server 2012R2, even if it's running inside an ESX, blehh), so please, any hint
    on what to check, what to change, what to fix, would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul,
    Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out all broken things reported by tests :( Guess Jesper's suggestion about adding a new 2008 DC to get rid of 2003 and start checking again after that may be best option.
    I'll try to summarize list of things I believe are wrong:
    running
    DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log  for every DC, shows different errors. They show things such as:
    another domain running here (not administered by us, only relationship is that our users are shared with that domain, nothing else) appear when Printing out pDsInfo (as if they were DC of our domain too, but they do not even share RootDomain). Guess it
    may be for a bug old sys admin had when clonning from his 2008R2 template, that forgot to change SID... I already noticed 1 year ago our print server shared SID with those DC, guess there may be more servers sharing SID too :-(
    Within Starting test: Replications, I see few messages at Replication Latency Check, such as the one for CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC=<ourdomain>: 
    Latency information for 35 entries in the vector were ignored.
                      35 were retired Invocations.  0 were either: read-only replicas and are not verifiably latent, or dc's no longer replicating this nc.  0 had no latency information (Win2K DC)
    On Services test, I see an 
       Invalid service type: RpcSs on DC-DOMAIN-3, current value
                WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, expected value WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
    On SystemLog, I see LOTS of warnings/errors such as:
    A warning event occurred.  EventID: 0x80000002
                Time Generated: 07/28/2014   08:21:54
                (Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
                0x503)
             An error event occurred.  EventID: 0xC0000003
                Time Generated: 07/28/2014   08:22:18
                (Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
                0x3afc)
    Missing entries on DNS (we've a static DNS)
    netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log Showed again DNS problems such as our primary DNS pointing to all DC, secondary
    DNS pointing just to DC with FSMO roles,...
    repadmin.exe /showrepl * /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt  Gave no errors, now I must check in detail
    if every replica is correct
    And finally,
    dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"  gave more DNS problems:
    One or more DNS servers may not be authoritative for the domain
    One or more DNS servers did not respond to UDP queries
    One or more zone files may have expired
    SOA record data was unavailable and/or missing on one or more DNS servers
    Sumarizing, guess it will be better to fix DNS problems, promote new 2008R2 DC to get rid of 2003 one, promote domain to 2008 too, check again for messages and relationship with other domain, and then come back here for support if needed 
    EDIT: Almost forgot to talk about SYSVOL folder. As said before, there are 426 GPO folders inside Policies. Of them, 375 have an inetres.adm files in it (smallest one 1398 KB, almost all of them 2307 or 2707 kb).... 

  • Strange behaviour in Mail

    I have ongoing strange behaviour with Mail in Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
    As well as randomly and intermitttently dropping connections to my various mail servers, I also, randomly and intermittently, fail to get to Print, or to create a new Mailbox, or to Quit. I just get a beep.
    Have to quit Mail - sometimes forcibly, and restart it.
    Mail will not automatically reconnect to servers after a Sleep , or moving to a differnt location.
    None of this was happenning on an older MacBook, but I was running 10.7 on that machine.
    Had to upgrade machine to allow upgrade to Mountain Lion.  Not sure which is responsible - new MB PRo , or 10.8?!
    Do I really have to re-install OSX  just to reinstall Mail?
    Any other pointers/hints very welcome.
    Thanks

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Strange behaviour - any ideas?

    Strange behaviour began when i was unable to open a new page in photoshop.
    The next day i was unable to print from word or photoshop or emails.
    However i could print from freehand and excel!
    I used disk 1 to verify and repair disk.
    this did not solve the problem as then when i tried to open Safari the toolbar opened but no window.
    I have reinstalled the operating system making an archive but this also has not had an effect.
    Any ideas on what to do next or should I just reinstall the operating system over the old one?
    many thanks 4 any help

    Sarah, to help the knowlegable users here please advise which model G5 iMac you have & include this info in your system info preference by clicking on the "My Settings" link in the right hand column.-->
    This way, you won't have to keep repeating yourself and the knowlegable users will be able to provide you with the correct trouble shooting information/solutions if the problem is your computer.
    Also, it will be helpful if you will advise which version of Word, Photoshop you have, which email program & the type of printer you are using.
    Thank you.
